To improve project team morale, project managers may take the following actions: Option C: Provide opportunities for cross-task interaction and create a safe space by modeling this behavior. For remote teams, building relationships and communicating between members is especially important. Encouraging interactions outside of work can strengthen connections between team members and improve morale. This includes informal meetings and team building activities. When project managers model these behaviors, they can foster an open and supportive culture within their teams.
